In an event that will speed up considerably the way that
information comes from Ubisoft’s UbiDays event to the net
Ubisoft have announced they will broadcast the press
conference online. All content will be shown on a new website
called uplay.com from Wednesday evening (6PM BST).
[Update 12/04/08: YouTube now allows for HD streaming. and
YouTube has enabled Widescreen embeds.
Updated 11/24/08: YouTube defaults to 16:9 player format, but what does that mean for the web video industry?]
YouTube’s been going under some mega changes so far this year and now they’ve updated their new player to resize itself to true widescreen resolution. For right now that only pro’s that I can notice between the new widescreen player versus the older player is that if there are widescreen black bars the majority of them will be cut off.
Is this really all that newsworthy? I say no, but the question is why does YouTube find it necessary to release a widescreen format player? There’s got to be something else that this new form of a player can offer that the old one didn’t. Hopefully they’ll let us know what exactly that is soon enough.
Right now because their new player does not embed onto third party sites we can’t show you the differences directly within this post. You can see an example here. Make sure to turn on and off the old/new player to see the differences.
I’m good at photoshop.
It seems that The Dark Knight and awesomeness go hand-in-hand. After the devastatingly awesome trailer that came on earlier this week, we now have a secretly leaked image of Two-Face, the movie’s second villain, after of course, The Joker.
While The Joker has been the movie’s poster boy, poor old Two-Face has gotten hardly any attention other than as Harvey Dent the politician. But don’t underestimate him. If ye be not afraid of spoilers, hit the jump to find out what Two-Face truly looks like in the film.
You will be amazed. ***THE DARK KNIGHT SPOILERS BELOW***

Fans of Batman can celebrate as those who have been waiting
for what has felt a lifetime has resulted in the announcement
of another trailer to be released this coming Sunday.
Considering the number of false starts with viral campaigns
and assumed trailers having an actual trailer site appear is
something of a relief. The most recent viral had people all
over the world asking for bowling balls at their local bowling
alley to get a free mobile phone and promo package.
We, just like the rest of the world will be watching in glorious
HD on Sunday with great interest. For those who want everything
now a bootleg youtube copy with horrible picture quality is available
already taken from a cinema.
